I’ve known John Chow for quite some time now, even before he started blogging! After meeting him he showed me how to make money with ThinkComputers and ever since then I’ve been doing it as a full time job! He really knows a lot about making money online and how to do it the right…

If you have been reading this blog for a while you probably know that before I was running ThinkComputers full time it was just a hobby. I feel very fortunate that I was able to take a hobby and turn it into a full time job. It’s not often that many people get to do what they love for a living. I’m not sure if I would call myself lucky, because it did take a lot work to get where I am but I guess I feel lucky that my job really does not feel like a real job. The thing is anyone can really do what I do, and anyone can turn their hobby into a business. The thing is, it just takes WORK! I worked on ThinkComputers just for fun, without making any money for almost 4 years before I learned I could make money with it! Here are some tips that should help you turn your hobby into a business.

Wow it’s 2010! Not only a new year, but a new decade! This past year was a very good year for me, there were all kinds of ups, downs, and in between’s. If you have a blog you know how great it is that you are able to look back on things you have done and be able to see the good times, reflect on your mistakes, and just remember some things you may have forgot. So here is my 2009 year in review, hope you all enjoy it!

While at PodCamp Pittsburgh 4 this past weekend I was able to attend Jami Broom’s session on SEO for WordPress. Jami is an Internet Marketing Strategist at ClicksToMySite.com.

I’m writing this blog post because something interesting happened this past week when I was grocery shopping. I was at Walmart walking down the snack isle looking for some stuff and I walked by a large section of Great Value chips. At first I did not realize that they were the Good Value brand because…

By now you should know what Twitter is, but did you know you can make money from Twitter. A couple of weeks ago Sponsored Tweets was launched by IZEA, the company that has brought us PayPerPost. Think of Sponsored Tweets as a PayPerPost for Twitter. Sponsored Tweets will connect you with advertisers and they will…

The following is a paid review: I’m asked all the time by many people how can I make money online? I mean it really isn’t the easiest question to answer, especially if I really don’t know the person asking the question. Well recently I was shown a website that not only can make you money…

If there is one thing that everyone want’s for their website or blog….it’s traffic. It’s great when your blog or website gets traffic. It can make you money, get you more members, or just get more people interested in what you are writing about. Many people think that you have to pay to get a…

It has been a while here since I actually talked about how I make money online. It really has not changed much since the last time I talked about it, but here is a rundown for some of the new people who frequent the blog. As you all know I run ThinkComputers, which is a…

Don’t you just hate negative people? I know that I do! Being negative is never a good thing. I hate when I’m in a negative mood and I try to get out of it as quickly as possible. When you are running your own company you need to have a positive attitude because more often…

As I always say there are ups and downs to doing what I do. I work from home, mainly working on ThinkComputers. While to some this may seem like an awesome job, I make my own hours, I’m my own boss, etc. There is 1 thing that is hard to overcome, it’s the lack of…

I love the entrepreneur spirit, doing things yourself the way you want to do it. I have been thinking lately about people who have really made a name for themselves, using social networks and the internet. That’s what so great about the internet, you can reach so many people and it can really help you…

A few weeks ago a friend of mine sent me to a YouTube video of Soulja Boy. If you don’t know Soulja Boy is a 17 year old rapper. He is most known for the song Crank That, I’m sure most of you have heard it at least once. After watching the video my friend…

It’s so funny how many people think you can just put a website up with a little bit of content slap some adsense on it and you will be making enough to living off of it. So many people assume that is how I make money online, when in reality adsense really does not make…
